Welcome to Dude's Ranch Horse Camp!!

We are a low key, family oriented organization.   We really care about your kids.  A "No pressure to perform" environment.  Our program is non-competitive, which encourages experimentation, and non-regimented, which fosters self-direction and confidence. They will learn how to communicate and have responsibility through caring for their assigned horse. 

A very educational place to be for your kids 5 yrs old and over. Sessions can be all day or half a day. It's your choice.  However,  throughout the different session we will be taking a few overnight field trips (that will take us off the ranch for a few days.. It's mostly for those kids who'd like to expand their knowledge of horses. )  This of course will be based on parental permission.

What do we do all day?

While horseback riding is the main event,  the kids will learn grooming, tack,  equine anatomy and general horsemanship.  They will learn how to be a horse wrangler/trainer.

We teach natural horsemanship and seat developement.  Although we are non- competitive, after several sessions each child earns a step up ribbon to the next level of learning. In addition, there will be arts and crafts, story telling,  trail riding, hiking trips & picnics. With your permission, we will have sleepover camping at the Acton ranch.  There will also be field trips to the beaches and state parks, special guest wranglers and special event days  are throughout the summer.

Each child has his own horse while at camp. He/she will have the opportunity to learn how to raise and care for  a horse.   It's all part of the ranch experience and builds great pride and teamwork within the group.  The kids may even experience a horse in  foal.
